Request: Save and SaveAs - file compression option

[wim (Wim Dekeyser)]

Hi David -

@davidcockey

In some instances file compression can result in a 20 times increase in save time compared to no file compression while providing minimal reduction in file size. In other instances the reduction in file size is large enough that the increased save time is worthwhile.

Your other post was a real-world example of the latter - compression leading to a significantly smaller file and significantly increase in saving time. Do you have a real-world example of the former - an extremely huge increase in save time without a noticeable decrease in file size?

I was somewhat hoping for a discoverable setting in the Rhino options that a user would consciously set and then forget…
